Nokia has truly stepped up to the mark with their new Nokia N8 touchscreen phone, coming with, amongst other things, an exciting and innovative design. Stepping away from the customary black box typically seen with touchscreen phones, Nokia designed the N8 with a bit of ergonomic flair to stand out next to its counterparts – in addition to voiding the black color option (though a dark gray version is available). More impressively, Nokia has finally delivered a phone with a 12 megapixel camera and coupled it with the all new Symbian^3 operating system.
The Nokia N8 is being entered into the market as a cheaper option to the more high end smartphones available, such as the HTC desire. This is evidenced by the fact the OLED touchscreen display has a resolution of 360 x 640, which is a slightly lower resolution than the many high end 800 pixel wide screens you will find on rival phones. The screen is 3.5″ in size, however, which is actually a good size for a smartphone.
Nokia was not sparing in features for its 12 megapixel camera. The N8′s large sensor and high quality optics compare with features seen on compact digital cameras – features that are actually more crucial to the quality of the image output than the megapixel count itself. The Carl Zeiss lens equipped on the N8 will help capture amazing HD 720p video and the Xenon flash found on the back will ensure well lit images on the go.
The Nokia N8 has a range of multimedia playback options. In addition to the FM radio, it also comes equipped with an FM transmitter. Without the use of Bluetooth or wired cables, the transmitter allows the user to play their audio connection back via FM radio, where law permits its use. In addition the N8 supports MP3, WMA, AMR, and AAC audio formats, along with Flash, H.264, MPEG4, and Real video formats.
For on board memory the N8 has a great 16GB, which is more than adequate for the average user, however if you want to increase the size you can add a micoSD card of up to 32GB. This is ideal if you want to take advantage of the HD recording and make plenty of home movies, or perhaps you want to watch films when you are out on the go. The N8 is one of the few phones that supports 802.11n protocol. It also has WiFi and is 3.5G, supporting all major UMTS bands. You can get a maximum of 10.2 Mbps download speed and an upload speed of 2.0 Mbps on HSDPA.
Nokia delivers more than just impressive hardware on the new N8. The newly unveiled Symbian^3 operating system delivers a notable array of software options with a high level of customizable features. The Symbian^3 provides the user with multiple homescreens, 2D and 3D graphics acceleration, multi-touch support, pinch-to-zoom capability, and kinetic scrolling.
